Definitions
- the present invention relates to a power storage device.
- a power storage device has conventionally been known that has: plural power storage elements, each of which includes a valve for discharging a gas generated therein and that are aligned in a specified direction; a pair of end plates that holds the plural power storage elements therebetween in the specified direction; plural joining members that extend in the specified direction and are fixed to the pair of end plates; and a case for housing the plural power storage elements, and in which the plural joining members are disposed along outer surfaces of the plural power storage elements, each of which is provided with the valve, contact an inner wall surface of the case, and, together with the case, form a moving space (exhaust passage) for the gas discharged from the valve (see Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2012-109126 (JP 2012-109126 A), for example).
- One end of the exhaust passage is connected to an exhaust duct on the outside of the power storage device. Meanwhile, another end of the exhaust passage should effectively be sealed by a certain member.
- a sealing plate that is made of a resin is used to seal the other end, the resinous sealing plate may be melted under the influence of the heat of such a gas at an extremely high temperature.
- the temperature of the gas immediately after being discharged from the valve is typically at least twice as high as a heat resistant temperature of a general resin material. In order to handle the above problem, it can be considered to form such a sealing plate by a heat resistant resin. However, this produces a problem of cost increase.
- the present invention provides a power storage device in which another end of an exhaust passage is sealed by a resinous sealing plate and that can prevent the sealing plate from being melted by the heat of a gas.
- the power storage device has a following structure.
- The. power storage device comprises plural cells, an exhaust passage and a sealing plate.
- the plural cells is aligned in a first direction, each of the cells includes a gas discharging valve for discharging a gas generated in the cell, each of the gas discharging valves is provided on a first side in a second direction of the cell, and the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction.
- the exhaust passage is configured to discharge the gas discharged from each of the gas discharging valves of the plural cells, the exhaust passage extends in the first direction, and the exhaust passage has an opening at a first end in the first direction.
- the sealing plate is provided at a second end of the exhaust passage in the first direction, the sealing plate includes plural recesses on a surface on the exhaust passage side of the sealing plate, and the sealing plate is made of a resin.

- a pack case 50 is shown, and the pack case 50 is separated from a cell stack 1 as a matter of convenience. Seal members 70, 72 are also shown separately from the cell stack 1.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the battery pack 100 in a Y-Z plane.
- X-direction, Y-direction, and Z-direction are orthogonal to each other. It should be noted that an up-down direction, a right-left direction, and the like change according to an installation state of a power storage device or a direction in which the power storage device is seen.
- FIG. 3 is a view for schematically showing an example of a partitioning member 30 when the partitioning member 30 is seen in the X-direction.
- the battery pack 100 can be installed in a vehicle.
- Examples of the vehicle include a hybrid automobile and an electric automobile.
- the hybrid automobile is a vehicle that includes both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine as power sources for driving the vehicle.
- the electric automobile is a vehicle that only includes the electric motor as the power source of the vehicle. In either case, the battery pack 100 can be used as an electric power source for the electric motor.
- the battery pack 100 contains the cell stack 1 and the pack case 50.
- the cell stack 1 has plural unit cells 10.
- the plural unit cells 10 are aligned in the X-direction as shown in FIG. 1.
- the pack case 50 is an example of a cover member and is an exterior for housing the entire cell stack 1.
- the pack case 50 is provided to cover upper and lower surfaces, both side surfaces, and both end surfaces of the entire cell stack 1. That is, the pack case 50 covers end surfaces of the cell stack 1 in the Z-direction, end surfaces thereof in the Y-direction, and end surfaces thereof in the X-direction.
- the pack case 50 may be formed of a metal (sheet metal member, for example).
- the pack case 50 may be configured by bonding a plurality of parts.
- Various ducts such as an intake duct 61 and an exhaust duct 62 may be connected to the pack case 50 so as to communicate with the inside of the pack case 50 (see FIG. 5).
- the unit cell 10 may be any secondary battery such as a nickel hydrogen battery or a lithium ion battery. Instead of being the secondary battery, the unit cell 10 may be an electric double-layered capacitor. It should be noted that the number of unit cell 10 can appropriately be determined according to required output of the cell stack 1 , for example.
- a positive electrode terminal 11 and a negative electrode terminal 12 are provided on a top surface of the unit cell 10.
- the positive electrode terminal 11 and the negative electrode terminal 12 are provided with a specified distance therebetween in the Y-direction.
- the plural unit cells 10 may electrically be connected in series. More specifically, the positive electrode terminal 11 of one of the unit cells 10 may electrically be connected to the negative electrode terminal 12 of another of the unit cells 10 by a bus bar (not shown).
- a valve 13 is provided on the top surface of the unit cell 10.
- the valve 13 is used to discharge a gas that is generated in the unit cell 10 to the outside of the unit cell 10. Due to a sealed state of the unit cell 10, internal pressure of the unit cell 10 increases along , with generation of the gas when the gas is generated in the unit cell 10. When the internal pressure of the unit cell 10 reaches working pressure of the valve 13, the valve 13 is changed from a closed state to an open state. Accordingly, the gas that is generated in the unit cell 10 can be discharged to the outside of the unit cell 10.
- the valve 13 is disposed in the Y-direction between the positive electrode terminal 1 1 and the negative electrode terminal 12. In an example shown in FIG. 1, the valve 13 is disposed in such a position that a distance from the positive electrode terminal 1 1 is equal to a distance from the negative electrode terminal 12.
- the valve 13 can appropriately be positioned.
- valve 13 may be a so-called breaking valve or a so-called returning valve.
- the breaking valve irreversibly changes from a closed state to an open state.
- the breaking valve can be formed by creating a marking in a portion of a battery case.
- the returning valve reversibly changes from a closed state to an open state.
- the valve changes between the closed state and the open state according to a magnitude relation between the internal pressure and external pressure of the unit cell 10.
- the returning valve can be configured of a lid for closing a moving passage of the gas and a spring that urges the lid in one direction, for example.
- the partitioning member 30 is disposed between the two adjacent unit cells 10 in the X-direction.
- the partitioning member 30 has a function as a spacer.
- the partitioning member 30 may be formed of an insulating material such as a resin.
- the partitioning member 30 may be formed of any resin material, it may be formed of a general resin material such as polypropylene (PP) or polyamide nylon (PA), for example, instead of an expensive heat-resistant resin material.
- PP polypropylene
- PA polyamide nylon
- the partitioning member 30 has plural joining sections 42 that are projected to both sides in the Z-direction, that is, to the upper side and the lower side. More specifically, each of the partitioning members 30 has two joining sections 42 on the upper side that are projected on both sides of the valve 13 in the unit cell 10 in the Y-direction, and also has the two joining sections 42 on the lower side.
- the joining sections 42 may differ in length in the Z-direction or position in the Y-direction between the upper side and the lower side.
- a pair of end plates 41 is disposed at both ends of the cell stack 1 in the X-direction.
- a restraining member (flat band) 46 that is made of a metal is bonded to the end plate 41.
- the two restraining members 46 may be provided on the upper side of the cell stack 1.

- a flow in the cooling passage S3 will be described later with reference to FIG. 7.
- the cooling passage S3 is formed between each of the partitioning members 30 and each of the unit cells 10.

More specifically, the sealing member 20 is provided at an end of the cell stack 1, that is, on the outside of the unit cell 10 that is positioned on the outermost in the X-direction (outside in the X-direction).
- the sealing member 20 may be provided between the unit cell 10 that is positioned at the end of the cell stack 1 and the end plate 41. In this case, similar to the partitioning member 30, the sealing member 20 is held between the unit cell 10 and the end plates 41 by the binding force of the restraining member 46.
- FIG. 9 is a view for schematically showing the example of the sealing member 20 when seen in the X-direction.

- the sealing member 20 may have plural joining sections 42' that are projected to the upper side and the lower side.
- the joining section 42' has the substantially same structure as the joining section 42 of the partitioning member 30.
- the joining section 42' of the sealing member 20 only has to be joined to the joining section 42 of the adjacent partitioning member 30 on the inner side in the X-direction.
- the joining section 42' needs not be joined to the partitioning members 30 on both sides in the X-direction. Consequently, the joining section 42' may include one of the large diameter portion 42a and the small diameter portion 42b of the joining section 42 in the partitioning member 30, for example.
- the joining section 42' of the sealing member 20 may only be abutted against the joining section 42 of the partitioning member 30 in the X-direction on the inner side in the X-direction.
- the sealing member 20 has a sealing section 21 between the joining sections 42' in the Y-direction on the upper side. As shown in FIG. 8, plural bottomed holes, that is, plural recesses 22 are formed in the sealing section 21.

- FIG. 10 is a view for schematically showing principle of heat radiation of the gas immediately after being discharged from the valve 13.
- the pack case 50 in this case is a portion that is located on the upper side of the unit cell 10. Because the pack case 50 is formed of a metal member (sheet metal member) with a favorable heat radiation property, a temperature of the gas immediately after being discharged from the valve 13 can be reduced. In addition, because a volume of the gas is reduced along with the temperature decrease of the gas, pressure in the exhaust passage S 1 is also reduced, and thus stress that is applied to a seal portion (joining portion and the like) of the exhaust passage SI can be lowered.
- the gas immediately after being discharged from the valve 13 obtains the reduced temperature by hitting the pack case 50 and then contacts the joining section 42 of the partitioning member 30 that defines the sidewall of the exhaust passage SI. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce an influence of the heat to the joining section 42 of the partitioning member 30 that is made of a resin. Therefore, a general resin material can be used for the partitioning member 30 as described above, and thus the cost reduction can be achieved.

- a heat mass (heat transferring property) of the sealing member 20 itself can be increased by forming the recess 22 in the sealing member 20.
- the corner 22a on an entering side of the recess 22 is formed at 90 degrees, it is possible to prevent the gas from entering the recess 22, and it is thus possible to further delay the temperature transfer from the gas to the sealing member 20.
- the plural recesses 22 are formed in the sealing member 20 for sealing the end in the exhaust passage SI .
- the air layer 102 is formed in the recess 22 of the sealing member 20. Accordingly, it is possible to delay the temperature transfer from the high-temperature gas to the sealing member 20 and also possible to reduce the influence of the heat to the resinous sealing member 20. Therefore, as described above, a general resin material can be used for the sealing member 20, and the cost reduction can be achieved.
- the seal members 70, 72 are respectively provided between the pack case 50 and the upper surface of the j oining section 42 on the partitioning member 30 and between the pack case 50 and the upper surface of the sealing member 20 (upper surfaces of a sealing section 21 and the joining section 42'). Accordingly, it is possible to reduce leakage of the gas from the inside of the exhaust passage SI .
- one of or both of the seal members 70, 72 may not be provided.
- the pressure in the exhaust passage S 1 is reduced along with the temperature decrease of the gas that is achieved by a heat radiating action of the pack case 50 as described above, and thus it is possible to reduce the leakage of the gas from the inside of the exhaust passage SI even in the case where one of or both of the seal members 70, 72 are not provided.
- the inlet 90 for the cooling air is provided on the lower side of the cell stack 1, and the outlet 92 is provided on both of the right and left sides of the cell stack 1. Therefore, the exhaust passage SI can be formed separately from the supply passage S2 and the cooling passage S3. In other words, only the gas that is generated in the unit cell 10 can independently be discharged to the outside of the pack case 50.
- the cooling passage S3 may be formed in the vertical direction (the rib 32 may be formed in the Z-direction) so as to communicate the exhaust passage SI and the cooling passage S3.
- the exhaust passage SI is defined by the joining sections 42 of the partitioning member 30. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of components when compared to a structure where a member other than the partitioning member 30 is used to define the exhaust passage SI.
- the joining sections 42 of the partitioning member 30 may not be provided, and the member other than the partitioning member 30 may be used to form the exhaust passage SI.
- the hollow section that is formed in the joined state of the joining sections 42 of the resinous partitioning members 30 is used to insert the restraining member 46 on the upper side therethrough. Therefore, there is no need of an additional step to insulate the restraining member 46 that is made of a metal.
- the supply passage S2 is defined by the joining sections 42 of the partitioning member 30. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of components when compared to a structure where a member other than the partitioning member 30 is used to define the supply passage S2.
- the joining sections 42 of the partitioning member 30 may not be provided, and the member other than the partitioning member 30 may be used to form the supply passage S2.
